bivar 0 #1 December 11, 2009 I have to admit that I'm not really into motorsports. But each year the local offroad driving club invites the best Formula Offroad drivers in Scandinavia to a weekend of madness in a large sand quarry. Combine some crazy icelandic guys, homebuilt cars with huge nitrus oxide injection and paddle tires, 70 meter tall walls of sand, and you get a lot of fun. And of course, we all want to see the big spectacular crashes. Can't wait until next year. See for yourself, here's some footage I shot in 2007:Formula Offroad crashes, Norway---------------------------------------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LongWayToFall 0 #5 December 12, 2009 Those cars are sweet. I saw a video once of them driving across water, I guess with enough speed and large enough paddle tires they just skip along the surface. It was impressive! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LongWayToFall 0 #6 December 12, 2009 I read some of the rules, I guess the unlimited class is just that, no restrictions on the engine. Nitrous, turbo, supercharger, whatever. I dig it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DavidB 0 #7 December 12, 2009 Yes, they are quite mad. When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bivar 0 #8 December 12, 2009 QuoteSounds like V8's Most likely Chevy small blocks You're right about that. Power ranging from 700 to 1000 HP in the "Unlimited" class. Some photos I have taken is located in this album. Apparently skydivers are not the only ones with"No shit, there I was" moments.---------------------------------------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Watch a few of the other videos and you'll see what I mean. I've heard that Fat girl has since been sold and the driver is now wheeling in Jenny Craig(no, I am not making it up, thats what the new rig is called)."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
